36" WFO in Candia, NH, USA

After a slow start and more rain than NH has ever seen. I'm finally making some progress. Here's a progress photo. Not super clean and already things I would have done different, but I'm getting more comfortable with the mortar and wet saw.

It's been a while, but after a long winter of nothing. I added a chimney. 6" of fiber insulation. And 3 coats of stucco. Today I start curing. The brick and mortar sat all winter. I'm hoping the extra time drying will help the process.

Go really slow, since the stucco has been placed, water will convert to steam during the cure and the volume increases by at least 1500 times. The area under the stucco could build up enough pressure to crack the stucco if you go too fast or too hot. I did not see whether you installed a dome vent or not but in either case slow cure is good.
